Subject: mount.nfs should support arbitrary option order

Hi,


currently it seems that mount.nfs only accepts -o as the last portion:


# mount.nfs -o foo a:/ /
usage: mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsih] [-o nfsoptions]
options:
-r Mount file system readonly
-v Verbose
-V Print version
-w Mount file system read-write
-f Fake mount, do not actually mount
-n Do not update /etc/mtab
-s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail
-h Print this help
nfsoptions Refer to mount.nfs(8) or nfs(5)

# mount.nfs a:/ / -o foo
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified


It would be nice if options can be specified anywhere. Especially
hard POSIX puts options first.
